    Still Not In Ketosis!!!!!

    Hi Guys!

    I have restarted Atkins many a time but this time I've been on it for about four days but I am still not in ketosis. I am working out like a fiend (slim in 6) but I am not in ketosis for some reason! Anyone have any hints for getting there??!! I am frustrated beyond BELIEF!

    Thanks all!
    Katie

    Hi there,
    Would you like to post a menu so we can see if there's something there that is holding you up from ketosis? Here's the link to the rules of posting your menu. In Review my Menu.

        Thanks Sherri and Joe!!!!!

        I am totally mortified! I was so discouraged that I went home and ate a vegan pizza. I am moritified and almost didn't want to write on here but I figured I should be accountable and get to the route of my problems as opposed to shying away from them. I seem to have a problem that when I don't see success...I go ALL out and just all or nothing kind of a mentality I am so mortified! I mean, I love teh way Atkins makes me feel! I just love it so I am not sure why I go and do this! After a week of being great and on the wagon...I threw it all away because I was peeved that I wasn't in keotsis! So I am worse off than where I started!!!! I just wanted to post here. Better to bite it than write it.

        Sherri...I have to get smart. I am DEFINITELY in the challenge. I will post tomorow WHEN I am sweetner free. Not IF

          How do you KNOW you're not in ketosis? For starters, it might take 5 days to get into ketosis since you have been on and off a few times. The other thing is that you might not turn the stix or have any of the other symptoms and still be in ketosis. I never turned the stix more than trace, even when the weight was falling off me. I lost 102 pounds in 10 months--never cheated--but never had any ketosis breath or turned the evil stix. At 75 pounds lost, I threw the rest of them away because I felt like I was failing, even though I was losing several pounds a week, still.

          You will never know if this will work for you until you do a complete 14-day clean induction. What is 14 days out of your life? Can you commit to just 14 days to make your life better for the next 14,600 days? Take it one day at the time. No scale. No Ketostix. Just eat the right foods and drink your water for 14 days and then evaluate your progress.

          Sunny!

            Keep your head up Katie...we ALL make mistakes. You handled it perfectly, you're holding yourself accountable...but dont beat yourself up. =]

            Also, everyother time I did atkins I was in ketosis by the 3rd day...this time (and the only time I exercised since the beginning) it wasnt until day 5 or 6! It was SO annoying, but it just took time I guess. I would definately post a menu though just in case there might be somehting you're not noticing might be throwing you off

            Also, how you know you aren't in ketosis?? Have you lost any weight yet? Just thinking that if it's only the sticks you're going off of, you can still be in ketosis with out it showing..I definately know. LOL

            Hang in there girl

              Sunny - Thank you so much! Your story is really inspirational!! I really appreicate you letting me know! I know this sounds silly but I thought that the sticks were the truth in a way and I thought that that's the only way you knew!!! And you're right! 14 days is nothing in the grand scheme of things!!!

              JSJ! My partner in SI6 crime! Thank you!! I am proud of myself for being accountable!! Yeah. I can't believe i emotionally ate but I just have to be patient. I will totally post my menu. I can't remember what I had in the last five days off hadn but going forward I am totally going to post my menus!!

              I haven't lost any weight yet (i mean since I restarted). I haven't gained either!

              Thanks guys. I won't beat myself up to much!!
